Helleborus niger altifolius 
Roses in winter! Not real roses, 
of course, but the rare and much- 
prized Christmas Rose. Actually 
blooms with the snows of late 
fall, at Christmas-time and right 
up until spring. This variety 
CH. niger altifolius) is much super- 
ior to the common H. niger. 
Grown by J. & P. from divisions 
of flowering plants, it will bloom 
for you next fall. Even when 
there is snow on the ground, 
it takes only a couple of mild 
days for this miraculous plant to 
produce its glacier-white blooms. 
The lovely 5-petaled flowers are 
2 to 3 in. across, with a lively 
center of yellow stamens. The 
(Left) 
leathery foliage literally hugs 
the ground. Flower clusters on 
6 to 8-in. stems. The Christmas 
Rose is especially suitable for 
a protected place in front of 
evergreens or shrubs because of 
its rich low foliage and the 
masses of unusual flowers when 
there is nothing else in the gar- 
den. Given a protected location 
where it is partially shaded in 
the summer but receives winter 
sun, the Christmas Rose will 
form a broad low mass of hand- 
some green. Once established, it 
should not be moved; allow it to 
spread, producing more and more 
of these lovely flowers each year.
